Bishop Leonidas Polk, of Louisiana, on the
outbreak Of the civil war, threw away his
pgiestly cassock and donned the Confederate
fighting gray. He had, however, been a
soldier before becoming q bishop, having
been graduated at West Point in 1897. He
was born at Raleigh, N. c., in 1906. He was
one Of the most able and jealous OF the minor
Confederate generals. Wherever fighting
was, there Bishop Polk was He always de-
clared, however, that when the war was over
he would 60 back and be bishop again. A
British officer who knew him in the army
wrote of the Confederate soldier bishop: GHe

and corps at Chickamauga. His sense of
his own dignity and importance sometimes
led him to disobey his superior officers as he
did Bragg In Kentucky. For such disobe-
dience at Chickamauga he was put under ar
rest, but was afterwards restored to COM
mand. He was with Johnston's army before
Atlanta, in June, 1864, where cannon shot

Kansas sugar.

FORT SCOTT, Kan, Sept. THE
Parkinson Sugar Works commenced
running week ago, to work up this
years crop of sorghum cane. The re-
suits so far have been wonderful, and
it has been demonstrated that sugar
can be made very profitably from
sorghum cane. From 1O4 to 10 pounds
of first sugar, twenty pounds of
second and ten gallons of syrup is the
average product from a single ton of
cane. This average is kept up right
along and owners and people here are
greatly rejoiced. The commissioners
of agriculture, Hon. Norman j. Cole
man, has been here for few days and
he stated publicly in speech last night.
that the sorghum sugar problem was
unq uestionably solved; that the re-
suits here demonstrated it fully. More
sugar and syrup has been made in one
week than was made out of the whole
of last years crop, under Professor
Wiley. State inspector, Cowgirl is
here, and he too pronounceS the results
highly gratifying and stated to an
associated press reporter last evening
that the question of making sorghum
sugar was solved and success,

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Sept. 5.-A
desperate shooting affair occurred last
night at HoIbrook, Apache county.
Arizona, in which Andy Cooper and a
half brother named Samuel Blevins
were killed by Sheriff Owens, and
John BIevins and Nose Roberts
wounded, the former slightly and the
latter mortally. On Monday last Sheriff
Owens learned that the four men had
arrived in Holbrook and were residing
in small house near the railroad
track. Armed with a Winchester,
the officer started alone to ar
rest the desperadoes. Arriving
at the house he knocked, and
upon the door being opened by Andy
Cooper the officer informed him that he
had warrant for his arrest. The only
reply he received was a bullet, which
passed through the sheriff's coat, but
fortunately it did not injure him. The
fire was then returned and Cooper fell
dead and the shooting became general.
Owens took a position at the window,
shooting all three men inside the house.
Samuel Blevins, one of the killed, is a
boy fourteen years of age, but fully as
desperate as his older companions

A STRIKE AvERTED.
The Night Shift of the w. q. to be
Paid for Overtime.

Considerable commotion was OBJ
served among the Western Union oper-
ators yesterday. Little knots of the
might shift" gathered in their accus-
toned resorts, apparently greatly ex-
ercised over some matter of Importance
in which all took deep interest.
Prompted by curiosity, reporter of
the Herald managed, after several futile
attempts, to CLEAN enough, which, by
putting this and that together, served to
reveal the cause for the hubbub.
1t is said that within the past month,
work on the wires has been extremely
heavy and the operators at this point
have been doing the increased business
without increased pay, many OF them
performing seven hours of extra work
after their regular time has expired and
receiving nothing therefor. The muir
murs of discomfort have been growing
louder and louder until yesterday
morning, when, after having dragged
through hard night, the "night shift
went to Manager Williams and pre-
sented a demand tor pay for over

With every advance of emigration
into the far west. new demand Is Gre
ated for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Newly peopled regions are frequently
less salubrious than older settled local
tiles, on account of the miasma which
rises from recently cleared Land, par
ticularly along the banks of rivers that
are subject to freshets. The agricultural
or mining emigrant soon learns, when
he does not already know, that the Bit
tiers afford the only sure protection
against malaria, and those disorders of
the stomach, liver and bowels, TO which
climate changes, exposure, and unac-
customed or unhealthy water or diet
subject him. Consequently, he places
an estimate upon this great household
specific and preventive commensurate
with its intrinsic merits, and is careful
to keep on hand restorative and pro-
moter of health so implicitly to be re-
lied upon in time OF need.

Where Their Merit Lies.

When anything stands test OF fifty
years among a discriminating people
like tbs Americans it is pretty good
evidence that there is meri. somewhere.
Such a test BRANDRETH's Pills hs7e
stood and thousands of unsolicited
testimonials every year prove their
merit. The Pills are purely vegetable
and are the result of the highest med
ical and chemical skill. They have
never been known TO fail in their work;
they have never caused any one the
slightest inconveni .nce, no matter when
taken, and there is little doubt that
they have really saved thousands of
lives. The best evidence of their value
hes in their increasing sale. BRANDRETH

THE WHITE HOUSE.

There are three regular mail deliveries
at the White House. The letter-carrier
is not bothered at all to call there, for if
he were, one carrier would have to be APP
pointed to attend to this work alone. At
eight o'clock In the morning the first deliv-
cry is made. The mail is brought from
the postoffice in the Department of State
mail wagon. This morning mail entirely
fills one large mail sack. 1t is the largest
delivery of the day.
The President does not see any of his
letters before breakfast, nor at breakfast.
He has the local and Baltimore daily
papers on his breakfast plate, and can
read these If he wishes. Before the fam
lily go to breakfast-and the meal is
served about nine o'clock--the messengers
are asserting the morning mail up stairs
in the reception-room There the great
long table is filed with newspapers and
letters, and three and sometimes four men
are kept busy for half an hour asserting
the mail
All the letters addressed to the Pres
ident are put in one pile; those to Mrs.
Cleveland in another, while the miscel-
laneous letters are assorted in various
piles. Colonel Lamont's (the. Predepts
I arrrgge, and that too, is made up in sep
arate package. Mrs. Cleveland's maid
comes in just before her mistress finishes
her breakfast and carries the lady's mail
off to Mrs. Cleveland's private little bou-
doir, where that charming lady spends an
hour or SO reading and answering her
correspondence.
The big pile addressed to President
Cleveland is carried into Colonel La
monts room and the private secretary
hurriedly runs over IT, He can detect at
once letters which the President should
see and which are personal. Some few
in doubt he opens, and If he finds they
are Endorsed or signed by well-known
men, they are added to the Presidents
personal pile. About dozen or so out
of the hundreds are thus selected and
carried into the Presidents private
library, and are awaiting him when he
comes up from his breakfast. The Others
are handed over to Mr. Charles M. Hend-
ley, the executive clerk, whose business
II is to go over and read and again assert
them. This is most carefully done. No
letter that comes to the White House is
destroyed, except 1t be some utterly ridic-
ulous epistle from crank or lunatic.
Invitations-and there are hundreds re-
ceived each week-are answered at once
from the White House and are filed away
for reference. The President has not
time to read every letter, nor does he
read correspondence in regard to certain
appointments or public business pending.
All letters relating to such cases are re-
ferred at once to the department to which
such appointment or business belongs.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1887-04-13

answering 1t with something more sub
stantial than words.
Attwelve o'clock one of the three mes
sengers mounts the White House mail
horse and rides down to the postoffice with
his mailbag strapped over the horses back
and brings up the noon mail On this trip
he carries to the postoffice the first mail
posted from the White House that day.
This lot of mail Is assorted like the morn
ing's mail. Again at four o'clock mail
is dispatched and the last one for the day
brought back by the messenger on horse
back. Atten O'clock at night the messen-
ger carries the last mail from the White
House for that day to the postoffiee.
Nearly every newspaper in the country
finds its way to the White House. Dur
ing the afternoon, the papers having been
all arranged IN piles, Colonel Lamont
looks over them. When he sees ANYTHING
he thinks is good or that will be of service
to the President, he marks it with blue
pencil. Colonel Lamont, by constant
practice, like all newspaper men, can
read paper and know all 1t contains in
a very short time. After he has sgone
over" the papers they are carried into
Colonel Crooks office He is the dis
bursting clerk of the White House. Col
onel Crook then takes forth his shears
and cuts out all the blue-marked para
graphs and pastes them in scrap-book.
and this is kept for the Presidents inspec-
ton. Mrs. Cleveland in her mail receives
a great number of clippings from news
papers, the majority being about herself
She enjoys reading these, and keeps a
scrap-book, too, and it is most interest
ing one. JOHN S. SHRIvER.
